Calls for Basic Income have been gaining ground on both sides of the political spectrum over the last several months due to COVID-19. This webinar panel assembles long-time business Basic income advocates to share their perspectives and explore what a Canadian Basic Income would mean for businesses, the economy, and society.
Whether the meeting you are hosting is virtual or face-to-face, being intentional about how you design and facilitate it can make all the difference. This is especially true when you are hosting people from a diversity of sectors and perspectives.
This webinar introduces participants to Liberating Structures: a menu of thirty-three simple, but highly effective, facilitation methods designed to encourage people to think, learn and work together in new ways. Whether used individually, or sequenced together, Liberating Structures demonstrate how high-impact change often happens through small shifts in how we think and interact.
Join Tamarack’s Sylvia Cheuy to learn more about Liberating Structures and the principles that make them work. Learn about – and experience – some of Sylvia’s personal favourites and expand your changemaker tool-kit with a rich array of road-tested approaches to unleash collective creativity.
Details coming soon!
Social Enterprise World Forum is excited to announce we’re going virtual in September for our largest global event to date, SEWF Digital. The need for a global impact economy has never been more apparent. As we begin the process of recovery and rebuilding, social enterprises and policymakers have an unexpected opportunity to “build back better” and develop economies that focus on equality, diversity, and wellbeing. At SEWF we are passionate about working together to grow the social enterprise movement and promote economies built on these values.
SEWF Digital is our moment to champion the potential of social enterprises - small and large, rural and urban - to bring about inclusive and sustainable economic development. Our week-long programme of online events and activities will feature keynotes and plenaries from three different world zones with live Q&A, online networking, and partner-organised fringe events. Speakers will include leading social entrepreneurs and change makers from across the world with over 5,000 participants from over 50 countries.
What impacts has the COVID-19 crisis brought to the speakers' cities and members, in particular on finance actors in SSE like foundations and philanthropic entities, ethical banks, financial cooperatives, solidarity finance, SACCO, mutuals, etc. ?
What are the responses of those finance actors to the impact of COVID-19 in collaboration with their members or/and partners in the community?
What types of innovative financing structure will help SSE actors to access finance in the post COVID-19 period?
How should public authorities, community and finance actors in SSE join hands together to set strategies for the recovery of our economies in the post COVID-19 era?
English-Korean simultaneous interpretation will be provided in this session
Movement Generation has been coalescing in our (virtual) dream tank and like many of you we are leaning into and processing the range of emotions stirred up by the pandemic crisis. We also recognize this as a time of possibility to act collectively to make the ecological and economic shifts we need. In that spirit, we are leading with our hearts to create a four-session online course series that helps reframe the COVID-19 crisis. If you’re hungry to discuss real solutions and strategies that address the structural inequities that got us into this mess, then join us!
